There are all kinds of people in this world. You can find one of each kind at your very own local supermarket. Most people run in and out of check-out, or in life, with such self-absorbed panic that they don't realize there are other people working and existing around them. And don't think we don't notice the way you look down on us. In your eyes we're "just" baggers, but we know more than you think. (And if we didn't fear getting fired, we'd tell this to your face.)
There are the kind and polite customers that smile and show their appreciation for your hard work and time. But among them are also the angry customers, the impatient customers, the whiny customers, the know-it-alls, the chatterboxes and of course, let's not forget, the hysterical customers. My new workplace has become a hodgepodge of the different kinds of people in the world. I had no idea customer service could be so difficult, or how temperamental people can react over the simplest of things - such as apricots and cold cuts, until I quit my job to become a bagger at my favorite grocery chain store.
Which kind are you?
